What does the cross actually achieve if Jesus wasn’t dying as a penal substitute? In this episode we reframe the mechanics of salvation around participation, liberation from sin’s power, and the launch of new creation.

We explore how Jesus broke the old contracts of sin, death, and the law through His death and resurrection — so we could be truly freed and made new.
